DPM Teo: Civil servants must guard against ‘behavior’ that will erode public trust

Following a series of high profile sex scandals involving senior civil servants, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean took the opportunity to remind the new batch of Public Service Commission (PSC) scholars to be mindful of their ‘behavior’ when ‘serving’ Singaporeans.

Speaking at the PSC’s annual scholarship ceremony, DPM Tel said “integrity, service and excellence will remain core values of the Singapore public service, even as it transforms itself to better serve the public.”

“Officers know that as stewards of public resources, they are expected to perform their duties with the highest standards of integrity. They must guard against any behaviour that can erode the trust Singaporeans have in the public service,” he said.

Maybe he should be mindful of his own behaviour when serving Singaporeans…..Put Singaporeans first, stop focussing only on the economy and turning this country into a company, stop bringing in FTs while Singapore is brusting at the seams. Be accountable to Singaporeans.

The Trust has been eroded already,for the Civil servants spate of mistakes and errors.Even recent Vice-President of SPH corruption matters.NUS Students were told to take off posters,relating to their activities on Christianity…Kong Hee an upright and decent man;Tan Ye Peng the most honorable and good person,according to us,slap with 10 charges…Civil servants’ complaint,and two Christians who committed passing Chick Tracts to them,being sent to jail,..convicted.

Mas Salamat case.Khaw Boon Wan bicycles.Everyone is curious to want to know the interpretation,in English meaning,and Law students should be also very interested to learn its meaning,because Dictionary cannot help much: Siphon,Mis-use,Criminal Breach of Trust,Misappropriate.

DPM Teo, don’t be a hypocrite.. your expertise in smearing and gutter politics during the Hougang By election is so competently demostrated to all Singaporeans. So please don’t associate yourself or your PAP gang with the word INTEGRITY.

Mr Teo Chee Hean, what have you done for Singaporean so far? Give us a break don’t show yourself anymore, it was really disgusting even listening to the words that comes out from your mouth or reading it, remember me I am the one that shut the door when you come visiting Pasir Ris St 71 BLK 769 during Y2007 G election.
